See what needs doing and what each job costs
60,000€ plus ~700€/m² renovation (120 m²) gives an effective cost ≈144,000€ or ≈1,200€/m² — about 3.5× the Abruzzo median of 340€/m². Good seaside location (≈4 km) and tourist appeal help, but the full renovation makes total acquisition cost high.
More on the house and the area
Solid, roofed farmhouse with a usable plot a few kilometres from the sea — good canvas for a seaside holiday home. The property is a clear renovation project but offers strong value and potential if you want to create a private garden and rental/holiday conversion.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €42,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Requires full renovation (likely no usable kitchen or bathrooms and internal finishes).
- Exterior shows unfinished brickwork and may need roof/facade repairs.
- Sits directly on a road so privacy and street noise are limited.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 78/100The area is on the Adriatic coast, with the long beach of Casalbordino Lido and the wider Costa dei Trabocchi stretch nearby. The Sinello river reaches the sea just south of here, and the coast alternates between beach sections and low bluffs. The nearest larger town is Vasto, which has a substantial historic centre, services, and a marina. The Punta Aderci nature reserve is nearby along the same coastal strip. This part of the coast is known for trabocchi fishing platforms and for beach tourism.
